We've got a drought going on out here in the Northwest, ordinarily it'd be
grey and wet just about every day. We're all praying that things'll be back
to normal soon, before everybody starts moving here lookig for nice
weather.
By golly, that pinky ketch does look a lot like Sunrise! I'll bet it is
her. I didn't catch the boat's name.

Thanks for those wonderfull pictures! I'm curious though,I was
always told it only rains on the left coast......what gives with all
the sunshine? :-)
BTW,that bright finished pinky ketch sure looks alot like Jay
Benfords old pinky ketch SUNRISE which he designed and lived aboard

You've hit on a couple of basic truths, there, John. I think most of us on
the list agree that small boats give the best return for the dollar (or
pound, franc, rupee or whatever.) I've never used any boat so much as my
old canoe. And the other thing is that if you want to reach a particular
destination by a particular date, you're going to be motoring a lot of the
time.
The trip Dad and I made was something I've always wanted to do -- small
boat, no particular hurry, and no "must-see" destination. Except for the
first morning, when we thought we might miss our tide, we used the motor, or
not, when we felt like it, not to keep to a schedule. One of the most
relaxing weeks I've had. I recommend it to anyone.
Cheers,
Jamie

Thanks Jamie.
I just read your cruise article in the online NZ Wooden Boat mag, a good
read, made me wish I was there! Good photos too! A friend of mine just
returned from 6 weeks up there in a 37' Pacific Seacraft, they had a good
trip (though the weather wasn't so good much of the time), but your small
boat adventure sounds much more appealing to me. My friend is thinking of
selling his sailboat and buying a trawler yacht(!) if they're going to be
cruising more up in BC and Alaska, instead of setting off for the South
Seas like they dreamed of when younger. With a big boat and deep draft they
didn't have the luxury of just drifting around and ended up motoring most
of the time. It also took them weeks just to get to Prince Rupert, and
weeks to get back-- how long did it take you and your dad to get to Brown's
Bay? I don't envy my friend for owning a big boat...
